Raising money for

Ataxia UK

Charity Registration No. 1102391

Ataxia is a type of neurological condition that affects balance, speech, and co-ordination. Ataxia is progressive, meaning it gets worse with time, until people become entirely dependent on others for all their needs. Over 10,000 people in the UK have ataxia and there is currently no cure.

Ataxia UK is the national charity for people affected by ataxia. We provide unique services and support, including a dedicated helpline and advocacy service; events and conferences where people can meet and share information; welfare grants; a quarterly magazine; a website with lots of information and a discussion forum; publications, films, and reports. As well as our specialist services, in the last five years we have spent over £3 million on research into possible treatments and cures for ataxia. Our vision is a world without ataxia and, with the help of our brilliant supporters, we are working towards this every day.

My story

Yes, have finally gone mad. On 14th June I will be completing a sponsored skydive in aid of the charity Ataxia UK

Ataxia is a degenerative & progressive illness which effects the nervous system.

Ataxia is the principle symptom of a group of neurological disorders called the Cerabeller Ataxias and may be a symptom of other conditions such as multiple sclerosis or cerebral Palsy. Money raised will go towards further research into potential new treatments.

For further details of the charity please vist www.ataxia.org.uk

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online and think of me as I plummet through the air at god knows how many miles an hour

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Ataxia UK will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now.

Many thanks for your support.
